Many users resent topics such as this because they have morphed from topics into little more than spam. There is no structure, nor is there any longer any sort of game in play at all. While the idea of having a public chatting forum may be a good one, please do it elsewhere. If you are not looking for discussion, and are instead looking for spam, I think you overestimate how many people are with you - I'm sure that 1/3 of the message board will not leave just because one thread is closed.
